I'm a 57 year old man. Over twenty years ago my doctor had me start wearing graduated compression stockings for leg swelling that had gotten worse when I had to begin taking blood pressure meds. He had me wear them around the clock, only removing them to shower. As a side affect, I found that as long as I wore the compression stockings, I no longer had horrible leg cramps at night.

The custom made garments the dotor prescribed cost over $200 a pair, so for years I've been buying an over the counter brand of firm compression waist high stockings. These worked well but were thick and hot to wear.

My wife noticde your product in your catalog and suggested we try them as a lower price and perhaps lighter weight option.

I am very happy and impressed with your product. While I'm sure many would ridicule a man for having to wear pantyhose,even for medical reasons, but they provide the support I need, do not make me so hot wearing them under my clothes and they cost less than half what the other brand cost. They fit well and are much more confortable.

Please keep up the good work!

I put yes, that I would recommend these hose to a friend only because I think they give the best support of any support hose I have tried.; I tried National's non-run support hose, but they do not give the firm support I need to keep my injured legs from swelling. I WISH National would make a therapeutic support, non-run pantyhose. That would be wonderful. As it is, if you want to wear pantyhose with no runs nor holes, then these pantyhose cost about $5 per wearing. In other words, you get about three wearings and washings before they run and get holes. I wear the new ones to church, or anywhere else I wear a skirt. After they get runs and holes, I wear them with slacks. Once they get runs and holes in the ankle or foot area, I only wear them for housework and gardening. Once the runs get so big that they're not doing their job, they get pitched. I save one or two for shining shoes.

I have worn these support panty hose in the firm for many years. They are great for anyone on their feet a lot as I am. My legs feel so much better when I wear them. I highly recommend that and a great price also.

After two hip replacement surgeries the burning from nerve damage was not a happy place to be. Suffered for 4 years before I found these pantyhose. I can stand for very long period of times without discomfort. They will give you a new lease on life and activities.

I've been using these pantyhose every day for several years -- I'm a loyal customer because the product meets all my needs. Ordering online is simple, and delivery is always quick. This is a reliable product on all counts.

I decided to give these pantyhose a try after reading all of the comments and trying almost every other brand of support pantyhose out there. I am a nurse and I spend almost 10 hours a day running around. These pantyhose give my legs the support they need to get me through the day. They fit fantastic, staying in place all day long. The ankles and knees don't stretch out after a full day. The pantyhose are so comfortable I usually stay in them when I change into street clothes after work. The control top gives nice support without being too tight. I like the sheerness compared to other 8-15mmHg pantyhose, and the natural shade gives my legs a nice suntanned appearance, with a hint of shimmer. Give these pantyhose a try, you won't be disappointed!

Doctor prescribed compression stockings to treat Lymphedema resulting from prostate surgery. Tried high-priced stocking from surgical supply houses that are supposedly designed for a man. Found them thick, strangely colored and not that comfortable.National's therapeutic firm support stockings work very well for a man. Color is natural, so only my wife and I are even aware I have them on. Stockings have no gender. Measured correctly to my male dimensions, they wear very well and are comfortable all day long. More importantly, they reduce the swelling almost completely and make my legs feel pain-free. Price is very reasonable. I've been wearing these for several years and will continue to order from National.

If the wearer considers that long underwear bottoms are heavier pantyhose, there's no gender issues. Great for winter wear, especially out of doors.

I have tried several other brands and could not get the proper fit or support. These are the best in fit, support and the price is great. You get two pairs for one third the price of one pair of some other brand. I hope this review does not cause you to raise the price.
